NIS America thinks the Switch market will continue to grow, targeting the system going forward
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
NIS America was present at Switch’s launch with Disgaea 5 Complete, and released Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle not too long ago. The company is also readying The Longest Five Minutes and Penny Punching Princess. Going forward, we can expect this type of support to continue.
In a recent issue of MCV, NIS America president and CEO Takuro Yamashita said that Disgaea 5 Complete “did very, very well.” He believes that “the Switch market is only going to grow and become stronger” over the next couple of years. Because of this, NIS America wants to target Switch along with the PlayStation 4 and Steam as platforms it supports.

The Switch Pro Controller has been widely praised since launch. However, some players have taken issue with its d-pad. With the new version of the controller released alongside Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nintendo may have made some improvements.
One difference pointed out by Reddit user Howwy23 is that the pole in the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 controller has a pole that’s longer than the old version. The old version had its own pole, but was apparently shorter.
